We still got it! This 3 year rum barrel aged imperial stout was brewed in the spring of 2018 with one of our best friends Chris Treanor, who left Galway Bay Brewery in 2016 to join White Frontier in Switzerland. This classic imperial stout was brewed with 10 malts to 24 Plato OG, then racked to rum barrels and aged for 3 years where it gained an extra 3.8% from the barrel maturation. The taste has layers of chocolate and caramel on a delicate frame, with notes of dusty cocoa, a pleasing rum spice and some booze warmth on the finish. Brewed by friends to share with friends. To be enjoyed now or aged cold.

Nice dark brownish black, bit of light brown head. Smell is boozy, sweet, raisiny rum. Excellent body, thick, lightly boozy, with a good bite. Rum is pretty sharp, but works well here. Flavour is rum, herbal, wood, some raisins. Fairly savoury. Thx Frits!
